Introducing the FirmTRAK Productivity Panel on Profitability

A study by CBI Insights stated that 42% of businesses fail due to a lack of market.  Similarly, many law firms start down a path of low profitability due to not being able to see what markets represent the largest number of matters.  On the flipside, many firms start down a path of low profitability due to concentrating resources on handling a large number of matters that actually end up having a low profit margin.  How can a firm properly figure out what is profitable vs what will produce a sufficient number of matters/cases?

Truly, profitability can be a tricky concept.  Depending upon the day, your firm can look
like the doors are about to close or that you can buy your own island the next
day.  The majority of data reporting
sticks to comparing revenue with expenses. 
Subtract your expenses from your revenue and your job is done.

Or is it?

FirmTRAK has the unique ability to automatically run your
revenue vs your expenses vs your actual collections over a given time
period.  The only way to truly track your
profitability is to track it over a given time period. 

It gets even better than that – with FirmTRAK, you can see
the following, automatically:

  1. Top 10 area of practice by invoice
  2. Top 10 area of practice by outstanding dues
  3. Top 10 area of practice by gross profit margin
  4. Invoice trend by month over the past year
  5. Expense trend by month over the past year
  6. Collection trend by month over the past year

Once you figure out your trends, you can figure out what
areas of your business to concentrate on improving.  Knowledge is power and, quite often, the
power to save you time and money. 

All of these reports are done for
you automatically when you are synced. 
No reports to run.  No queries to
try to figure out.  Simply see the power
of FirmTRAK at your fingertips.
